Wondering what to pack for your South America tour?

Whether you are travelling for 7 days or 37 days, deciding what to pack for your South America tour isn't overly easy. We recommend stocking up on light trousers, shorts, t-shirts, long sleeved tops and windbreakers so you can be prepared for any climate. Don’t forget comfortable walking shoes either, plus some sandals. You’ll also need swimwear, a sun hat and UV protection. Other essentials include a travel adaptor, a towel, mosquito spray and a torch. Finally, don’t forget all of your camera gear - such as a charger and an extra memory card, so that you can snap happy whilst on holiday.
